Need help View Single Post #2 05-14-2009, 09:44 PM KevCarter Lynn Blake Certified Associate Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,955 Originally Posted by dvdpfstr I just recently purchased TGM after becoming frustrated with my golf game over the last year. I have had a handicap between 7 and 10 for a couple of years and felt like I was stuck in one spot as far as golfing goes. Last year I suddenly lost the ability to compress the ball and consequently lost yardage and accuracy. Ultimately this is what led me to TGM. I started working on the basic motion this week and have found it tougher than I thought it would be, don't understand what I am doing, making it more complicated than it needs to be, or just over thinking it... maybe all of the above. I attempted acquired motion tonight at the range and mostly just kept sticking the club in the ground and hitting the ball fat. I have watched all the videos in the gallery and have been reading TGM manual and believe it is starting to make sense to me but I am getting extremely frustrated. I am almost starting to think there is so much information in the yellow book that I am over thinking everything. I am tempted to go back to just swinging the club without thinking about it or taking a break from the game altogether. Any encouragement would be wonderful. dvdpfstr, I felt a lot like you until I bought and watched Alignment Golf from Yoda available in the Pro Shop right here at LBG. Mr. Blake and Mr. Trolio do a FANTASTIC job of explaining the fundamentals of TGM. It's hard work, but worth every minute of study. Please read everything you can both here and at iSeek, once it starts becoming clear, the sky is the limit! Kevin __________________ I could be wrong. I have been before, and will be again.
